Chickenfoot May Replace Chad (Top Story)

12/29/2010.

Chickenfoot May Replace Chad was a top story in October. Here it is again as we recap 2010: (Rock Radio) Joe Satriani says he'd love Tommy Lee to replace Chad Smith in Chickenfoot if the Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer can't fulfill his obligations with the supergroup.

Satch, Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony are gearing up to record their second album with Smith in January – but the skinbeater's duties with his main band could keep him from touring the record.

"We just did two shows with Chad and they were fantastic. Afterwards he said he's still committed to the band, so that was cool. I'm not worried about him completing the album. As for touring – we'll have to see. Obviously he's going to be pretty busy." Satch says in an interview. -
